Backflash (2001) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

"BACKFLASH" is a cheap wannabe of a Tarantino film especially JACKIE BROWN & its a crime Thriller road movie set in the lonely desert towns of Robert Rodriguez style & full of double crossing useless criminals but i checked this out because I'm a huge Robert Patrick fan & he is definitely the best part of the movie!!!!Robert Patrick gives the best he can acting wise with what he has & he's good (he's always good) he's just not playing the type of sure of himself tough guy & instead he plays a gullible & lonely video store owner called Ray but i liked his character. I liked seeing the old video stores as that was my childhood in those places so i got a sense of Nostalgia with those scenes as they Don't exist anymore & there is a lonely old skool dusty desert atmosphere. Robert Patrick working in a video store & him being a video era actor just filled me with a nice bit of Nostalgia. Robert Patrick seems so at home in these straight-to-video B-movie Thriller's & had made a lot by the time he starred in this one. Patrick done some gems though the 90's with Erotic thriller's, adventure & action flicks made on small budgets & Patrick was always damn good on screen like a rugged James Dean or a young Eastwood. He's also a guy that seems at home in the loner role & especially out in the dusty & loneliness of Texas of Mexico & he's a damn good B-movie actor & simply a damn good actor in anything, Big budget or B-movie.I didn't really like Jennifer Esposito's Double Crossing Hitchhiker character, she was too in your face cocky & too brutal as she punches people alot & just a bitchy character. No one else makes any big impression but to be honest the characters are just weird & wacky bits to fill out the dusty backroad world of this thriller.There's some double crossing stuff & some money robbing stuff & it's definitely Robert Patrick that keeps it entertaining.Now, this is the typical type of low-rent Thriller that stocked up the shelves at Blockbuster & for that reason it definitely has a comforting Nostalgic feel to it & makes it more watchable because of that fact. There's nothing really bad about "Backflash" as it's a real easy late-night thriller type but it also doesn't do anything exciting either. We get a small role for Melissa Joan Hart, pure 90's & early 2000's star from the hit show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" that i used to watch so there's Nostalgia there too.Worth watching to see the Awesome Robert Patrick in a very different kind of role as an ordinary guy in a strange situation & he plays the loner role well & i liked the sunny, dusty & wide open cinematography of the landscape. Reminded me of From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (also Robert Patrick) All in all, Backflash is a relaxing watch of a film & a decent "Tarantino" style small time thriller.A cheap dusty road-movie thriller that is an easy watch but nothing more. I like B-movies & Backflash is ok if.I have big Nostalgic love for Robert Patrick as he's a face I've literally grown-up watched & loving from Terminator 2, Die Hard 2, The Faculty, Cop-Land, Zero Tolerance, Hong-Kong '97, Tactical Assault, The Vivero Letter & many more. A beloved "Character Actor" & one of my all-time favorite actor's. A real star of his time, my time, the beautiful 90's when Video stores ruled.
